#hope Poem by Shamik Kumar Bose

Hope, you have stood by me with a friend's gesture
Now I can't say, hoping against hope in one humor
I have learnt to seek you in despair with fervent desire
I feel the warmth of your glow as you flicker
I must say, I do not care, I shall not care whatever
If you are beside me, you sit inside me, whom shall I fear?
Rather always I can utter. I dare and I will dare.
I may not forget the strength you give me in my willpower
I will underwrite in my insurance with your ever-pressing signature.
